Through the Green Moms Network, and together with my co-host Organic Mama, I will be helping you kick off your summer with an Eco-friendly BANG!

The Summer Celebration Giveaway Hop is a ‘green’ giveaway event that will take place June 21-29, 2012, and participation is FREE*! This is going to be a really fun event and I invite you to secure your place by signing up today!

Here are the Event Details:

The event will begin at 12:01 AM EST June 21, 2012 and end at 11:59 PM EST on June 29, 2012 (this means set your Rafflecopter to start on June 21 and end on June 30).

What You Must Do As A Participant (Mandatory):

What You Need to Do Now:

Grab the button and post it in a prominent place on your blog (preferably in your sidebar).

Sign up with your Blog Name on the linky with an accurate email address that you check often.

What You Need to Do Later:

Host a giveaway posted on your blog that totals at least $25 for one winner. You may offer multiple prize packages as long as each package is valued at $25 or more. If you have multiple prizes, there must be one main post for this giveaway. The giveaway must run for the duration of this event.

Include the Summer Celebration event button in your giveaway post to identify the giveaway as being a part of this hop.

Include a few sentences about the event and the hosts in your main post (the post must contain links to the hosts’ sites).

Include the linky that we will provide later within your giveaway post so your readers can easily hop to the other giveaways.

Choose your winner within 48 hours of the event closing and announce the winner on your blog (on the Rafflecopter form is fine).

What We Would Like You To Do As A Participant (Optional):

Join the Green Moms Network Facebook Group (this will be the best way to get information about the event).
